Remarknhle Surgery,

The science OF surgery has made such
wonderful progress in modern times, that
the most intricate and delicate opera
tons are now undertaken and carried to
"a successful issue. There are now several
we'll authenticated cases of what is
known as pneumotony, that is to say,
the removal of diseased portions OF the
lungs in cases of consumption. While,
however. this delicate operation has
sometimes been successfully performed,
the risks attending it are so great, and
the chances of recovery so slight. that it
ie seldom resorted to. The safest plan
in consumptive cases is to use DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This will always cure the disease in it's
earlier stages, thoroughly arrestinR she
ravaRes OF the terrible malady, by re-
moving it's cause and healing the lungs,

A Few Facts.

AnLoooK's are the only genuine porous
plasters. They act quickly and with
certainty, and can be worn for weeks
without causing pain or Inconvenience
They are invaluable in cases of spinal
weakness, kidney and pulmonary diff.
%culties, malaria. ague cake, liver COM
plant. dyspepsia. strains, rheumstism,
sciatica and nervous debility. Other
plasters blister nnd iDfisme the skin
so that the pores are closed and often
cause serious injury. You risk health
and waste time and money by buying
inferior plasters made to sell on, The
reputation OF ALLoooK's.

to hold the offices and play the part 4
rulers over great and intelligent people.
Nor ID thls all. Dakota ID Kept IN the
swaddlipg clothes of territorial regula-
tion, by which, Justice is practically
denied through the infreausney OF
courts, and II great distances to be
travelled in attending them; while
as an incident OF this condition the vast
patrimony OF the school Lands is being
frittered away and lost, from which q
princely enu might be derived, up-
der statehood, to manifest relief iium
the present burden of school taxation.
From evils so great, and wrongs SO mon
strous, the only avenue OF eaospe would
seem to be q popular uprising that will
bring the national lawmakers to their
senses. A majority will certainly vote
for division; and if that vote can be made
unanimous, congress cannot, and will
not dare, defy such q msiestic expression
of the popular will.
On behalf. therefore, of the people
here represented; we invite the electors
of north Dakota to vote "for division.
at the coming Nov. mber election, be-
cause such q vote would be equivalent,
i. To o demand, on the part of the
people OF Dakota, without distinction of
party, that congress- accord, at it's coming
session, recognition OF their rights and
redress OF thesy wrongs.
2. To a declaration, that Dakota,
whether as o territory or state, is too
large for wise, economical and honest
local government.
3. 10 q notice that the northwest
will insist that the vast region embraced
IN the present boundaries OF Dakota
shall ultimately be represented in con-
gress by at least four United States sem
ators.
A. To a verdict, that the first step in
order IS the division of the great terri
tory, on the line selected by its hall
million of people.
The Importance of 9 full vote cannot
be over estimated. A small vote will only
aggravate present conditions by afford
ing excuse for further neglect, and settle
nothing; but q full vote will put an enc
to controversy, secure early action o.
congress, and give the two Dakotas al
impulse of prosperity which neither hal
yet enjoyed. Again we press the ad
monitor. Give division q full vote.

MRS. HOWE WAS a SOLDIER
Says She served In the Army and IL
EuttfIed to Wear the badge.

A Bridgeton On. j. telegram says:
Mrs. Kate W. Howe, who was arrested
for wearing a Grand Army badge, waived
a hearing this morning and entered Sc
curity for her Appearance ut court. She
then proceeded to denounce in bitter
terms all those who were concerned in
causing her arrest, and also Hall, of the
Vjneland Post, whose letters concerning
her she claims to have in her possession.
She termed his work that of q sneak and
coward. and added: eff your wife was
treated as | have been you would raise
"
Mrs. Howe says she has four Grand
Army badges presented to her at diff
ferent times by comrades. The one
which she has with her she claims was
given her by comrades in New York
State in 1863 She says she served in
the Twenty-eighth Massachusetts, and
also other Massachusetts, regiments, but
declines to tell what companies, because
she promised her mother on her death
bed not 70 reveal certain secret until
the death OF certain member of the
family, and this member is now living in
another country.
Mrs. Howe claims to have served as
drummer-boy, private, and lieutenant in
the army, and says she was engaged IN
the battles of Shiloh, Lookout Noun
tain, and one battle Of Bull Run, and
that she was in the Twenty-eighth Massa-
chusetts in the Peninsula under Colonel
Montieth, attached to the Irish brigade.
She also says that she had served three
wears when she was wounded and her sex
discovered. While speaking to the re-
porter she placed her hand on her
nip with an exclamation that her
wound was paining her. She says
she is Virginian by birth, but
passed part of her childhood in Massa-
chusetts. She says that she was able TO
conceal her sex so long in the army be-
cause of the presence of her brother.
She was at one time made an honorary
member OF the Grand Army Of the Re
public, but subsequently all honorary
memberships were called in, and she
claims strangely to have the backing Of
Past Department Commander Ne7lns
and present Commander Wheeler, saying
that it was at the request of the former,
who was unable TO attend, that Lawyer
james j. Reeves, of Bridgeton, took
charge of her defence.
The defence has created intense in
terest here and in neighboring places,
where Mrs. Howe and her husband have
been giving entertainments Public
opinion is divided, and much bitterness
is being caused, particularly among
Grand Army men. Mrs. Howe is tall,
powerful-loOking woman, and a ready
and plain-spoken talker. She asserts
that she has right to wear the badge
and that her arrest is persecution.

He Mnde His Own Forfune.

A Pittsfield Mass special to the
World says: abraham Burbank, the
largest real estate owner here, died this
morning; aged seventy-four. He had
been i'll for some time with paralysis.
He came to Pittsfeld in 1884, aud
worked rs a stone and brick mason.
With his first earnings he purchased a
small building-lot and built a small
house upon it. He continued to ply his
trade as a brick.mason, and purchased
real estate with his earnings, till he
finally owned over one hundred dwell
ings, six large blocks in the business
part of the place, two hotels, and three
large farms. He also had some other
property when he died. and was con-
sidered worth Sl,0G0,000. He worked
early ana late every day, without any
vacation, till he was stricken down by
paralysis. He never used liquor or to-
bacco, and was considered the most in
dustrious and frugal man in town. He
leaves widow and six sons and about
twenty grandchildren.
There is great curiosity to know how
he has disposed of his property. 1t is
supposed, from what he recently said,
that he has willed several hundred thou
sand dollars to the town of Pittsfield for
public improvements, and that the re-
mainder will be held in trust Tor his
grandchildren. He was prominent
member of the Masonic fraternity, and
the local lodge will have charge of his
funeral.
